Create and edit 2D parametric sketch geometry.
Create, edit, and cleanup geometry.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Different types of mesh you can create in HyperWorks.
Create and edit 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D elements.
Create, organize and manage parts and subsystems.
HyperMesh composites modeling.
Create connections between parts of your model.
Rapidly change the shape of the FE mesh without severely sacrificing the mesh quality.
Create a reduced ordered model to facilitate optimization at the concept phase.
Workflow to support topology optimization model build and setup.
Multi-disciplinary design exploration and optimization tools.
Validate the model built before running solver analysis.
Reduce a full 3D model with axisymmetric surfaces while accounting for imperfections.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Tools used for crash and safety analysis.
Airbag solutions offer airbag folder utilities and exports a resulting airbag in a Radioss deck.
Essential utility tools developed using HyperWorks-Tcl.
Import an aeroelastic finite element model with Nastran Bulk Data format.
Framework to plug certification methods to assess margin of safety from the model and result information.
Create evaluation lines, evaluate them, and optimize the interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
Panels contains pre-processing and post-processing tools.
Results data can be post-processed using both HyperMesh and HyperView.
HyperGraph is a data analysis and plotting tool with interfaces to many file formats.
MotionView is a general pre-processor for Multi-body Dynamics.
The Model Browser allows you to view the MotionView model structure while providing display and editing control of entities.
Create and edit systems, assemblies, and analyses, use wizards to build models quickly, create and edit belt/pullies, NLFE stabars, and NLFE springs, access the EDEM and Track Builder tools.

Use the Joints tool to create and edit basic joints.
Use the Motions tool to create motions and to edit the initial conditions, displacements, velocities, and acceleration of joints.
A Coupler entity defines an algebraic relationship between the degrees of freedom of two or three joints.
Use the Gears tool to create a gear entity to relate the motion of two joints.
Use the Advanced Joints tool to create and edit a set of special constraints called higher pair joints. Typically, these are constraints that involve a curve or surface on at least one of the two bodies.
Use the Spring Dampers tool to edit the connectivity, properties, and initial conditions of springs and dampers.
Use the Bushings tool to create bushings and edit their connectivity, properties, and orientation rules.
Use the Beams to create beams and edit their connectivity, properties, and orientations.
Use the PolyBeams tool to create polybeams and edit their points and properties.
Use the Forces tool to create forces and to edit the orientation and properties of forces.
Use the Contacts tool to specify the attributes of a contact force between two bodies.
The Contact Properties Editor macro enables you to edit multiple contact force entities in a model simultaneously.
Use the General Constraints tool to create a generic expression based constraint.
Use the Fields tool to create a compliant connection between two bodies where stiffness or damping in one direction can be a function of displacement in another direction
The Modal Forces tool allows you to include a disturbed force on a flexible body that exists in the modal form in the flexible body H3D.
Use the Spline2D/Curves tool to create and edit curves.
The Spline3D panel allows you to add and edit three dimensional spline data.
Use the Variables tool to create solver variables that can be used to create an algebraic expression of state variables, as well as other solver variables. This can then be referenced in function expressions throughout the solver input file.
Use the DataSets tool to create and edit datasets comprised of object types, such as real, string, boolean, integer, and options.
Use the Arrays tool to create solver arrays and set solver array data. Solver array types include X array, Y array, U array, IC array, Plant Input array, and Plant Output array.
Use the Strings tool to create a solver string and set solver string data. A solver string provides a string that can be accessed within the model, for example, to pass into a user subroutine.
Use the Sensors tool to sense an event during simulation and to define a response to that event
Use the SISOs tool to set control SISO data. This data can be used to add additional states to the mechanical system being modeled.
